right, these knowledge work and coding jobs are, by my lights, about the best possible job. From my perspective we've invented a machine that does the fun parts while leaving me the less fun parts (review, various hard-to-claude janitorial tasks, etc).

I might like woodworking as a hobby (for example), but I sure as heck don't want to be a carpenter or to depend on my ability to hand craft enough widgets people like to survive

I differenciate between things you have to do (work) and things you want to do. Work means someone else is telling you your priorities.

If you want to write code and think, you would be welcome in my utopian vision.

But when i write code, its business shit. And its business shit someoneelse already solved a few times.
